Rajasthan Safai Karmchari 2026 Notification

Posts in 183 urban local bodies

Advertisement 01/2026 of the Local Self Government Department, Rajasthan, was issued on 27 July 2026 to make the Swachh Bharat Mission and sanitation work in cities more effective. It invites online applications for 24,752 contractual Safai Karmchari posts under the Rajasthan Contractual Hiring to Civil Posts Rules, 2022. Of these, 24,277 posts are in 174 bodies of the non-scheduled area and 475 in 9 bodies of the scheduled area such as Mount Abu, Abu Road, Banswara and Dungarpur. The biggest numbers are in Jaipur (4,811), Kota (1,357), Bikaner (1,084), Jodhpur (890) and Sikar (480). The category-wise split for each body is on lsg.urban.rajasthan.gov.in, and the number of posts can be changed.

Experience is the main condition

There is no educational qualification for this post. Instead, you must be a native of Rajasthan and have one year of sanitation work in any urban local body of the state, either at a stretch or in parts. If you were engaged directly by the body, the certificate is issued by the Chief Municipal Officer or an officer authorised by them. If you worked through a contractor or agency, the agency's certificate must be verified by the body's solid-waste manager and countersigned by the Chief Municipal Officer, or in a Nagar Nigam by the Deputy Commissioner (Personnel) or an officer the Commissioner authorises. The certificate must be issued after 1 August 2026 and before the last date, in the format on the department's portal.

Age limit and relaxation

You must be at least 21 and not more than 40 years old on 1 January 2027. Rajasthan's SC, ST, OBC, MBC and EWS men and general-category women get 5 years of relaxation, and women of those reserved categories get 10 years. Widows and divorced women have no upper age limit, as long as they are below the retirement age. Ex-servicemen get 10 years and disabled candidates 5 more years on top of their category relaxation. Relaxations do not add up, and nobody can be appointed after the age of 60.

How the lottery works

There is no exam. Eligible applicants for each body are picked by a computerised lottery against the posts of each category. Those with experience in the same body come first. If posts are left, applicants with experience in another body of the same district are added, and after that anyone with experience in any body of the state. Candidates who already have a court order for priority from an earlier Safai Karmchari recruitment get priority if they apply in that body. Lottery notices appear on the department's website and the SSO portal.

Fee, dates and pay

The online form opened on 15 August 2026. Corrigendum 01/2026 of 24 September 2026 extended the last date to 13 October 2026, and Corrigendum 03/2026 of 12 October 2026 extended it again to 28 October 2026. The only fee is the one-time registration fee: ₹600 for general candidates and ₹400 for reserved-category and disabled candidates, and nothing for those who already paid it. Selected candidates work on contract with an honorarium of ₹7,410 a month.
